ArmInfo. Political persecution and deprivation of rights in general-this is exactly what is happening today with the president of the Tashir Group of Companies, Samvel Karapetyan. Lawyer Aram Vardevanyan wrote on his Facebook page.
The lawyer noted that in the conditions of Samvel Karapetyan's unlawful detention, especially when on August 14 the investigative team presented its argument to the court for the necessity of active measures, he filed a motion for the conduct of these "active measures" or a face-to-face confrontation with the businessman. "By the way, another legal absurdity is that we are acting as intermediaries in this. I received a resolution from the investigator stating that a face-to-face confrontation was unnecessary, and that the data on the actions taken (which is missing) was submitted on August 14, 2025, along with a petition to extend the detention period, that is, before the detention period was extended. As a result, Samvel Karapetyan's detention was prolonged for the conduct of active measures, and he has already been in custody for over 90 days. However, according to the investigation, there is no need for a face-to-face confrontation. That is, there is no evidence to support the case, and the "information about active measures" was submitted before the detention period was extended. Political persecution, deprivation of rights in general-this is exactly what is happening," the lawyer wrote.
